Zhang Liao took Ling Cao, Xu Sheng and his army without rest, and immediately returned to Wancheng. The military situation was like fire, and if you were not careful, you would suffer huge losses and even ended in failure. After arriving in Wancheng, Lu Kang welcomed everyone to the prefect's office, put tea, and then gathered funds to hold a banquet at night, but Zhang Liao opposed: "Mr. Lu, you don't need to prepare for the banquet. We appreciate your feelings. The situation is serious now, so let's discuss the situation."

Mr. Lu was stunned after hearing this. What's the important thing? The bandits on the backbone have been wiped out. What serious situation is there? "General Wenyuan, how can I understand what you said? Is there something new in our Lujiang River? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Zhang Liao laughed and knew that Mr. Lu had no spies in other places, so of course it would be impossible to obtain relevant information. This old man is really a hand-off manager. "Old man, our army is in Shouchun, and the intelligence sent by the spies from the spies from Wujun and the intelligence sent by our army General Staff Department pointed out that Yuan Shu of Shouchun and Sun Ce of Wujun joined forces to attack Lujiang in one fell swoop. It is estimated that the troops of the two families should be dispatched now. Gu said that Yuan Shu asked Ji Ling to lead a 100,000 army to come, and Sun Ce also personally led 20,000 naval troops to come."

Mr. Lu Kang was stunned and said, "What a joke, just for this little Lujiang, since Yuan Shu sent 100,000 troops and Sun Ce also sent 20,000 troops to attack together, how can he resist?" General Wenyuan, you have less than 20,000 troops under your command. Now there are 120,000 troops from two groups coming to fight. What should I do? Will Ziyi send reinforcements?

Ling Cao shook his head from afar, looked at Lu Kang and said, "Old man, even if the lord sends troops to reinforce, it is too late. The soldiers and horses on Yidao and Qingzhou Chang Island, which are closest to our army, will take more than ten days to arrive at the fastest. Besides, General Wen Yuan said that it was the lord who asked us to resist alone and was not ready to send troops."

After hearing this, Mr. Lu Kang sighed even more. How can he resist with just these little soldiers? Isn’t this just hitting an egg on the stone? The disparity of troops is so huge, how can I defend it? "General Wenyuan, what should I do? I still think you should notify Ziyi quickly and ask him to send troops to rescue. We will resist according to the city to see if we can persevere until the rescue arrives, otherwise how can we defend."

After hearing this, Zhang Liao laughed and said confidently: "Don't worry, old man, I will not rely on the city fox guarding me. Our army is preparing to destroy Yuan Shu's Ji Ling army in the wild; and leave Sun Ce's 20,000 naval troops from the water. Since they are here, we can let them go back again! Besides, our army does not allow them to come whenever they want, and leave whenever they want. There is such a cheap thing in the world. If they don't teach them a lesson, they will even go to our army to shit and pee in the future!"

Mr. Lu Kang was stunned after hearing this and looked at Zhang Liao with confusion. You were not scattered in your head, right? Or was he suddenly scared. What a joke? He used less than 20,000 troops to fight against Yuan Shu and Sun Ce's two armies of 120,000 troops. He did not rely on the city and took the initiative to go to the wild to fight. Can the battle be fought like this? Isn't this just hitting an egg on the stone? This is asking for death. Could the other party stand still and wait for you to chop. "General Wenyuan, I know you are good at leading troops to fight, but the gap in strength is too great. Can our army win the decisive battle in the wild?"

Zhang Liao smiled slightly and said confidently: "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, I never fight a battle without confidence. Although our army does not have enough military strength, our army's combat effectiveness is very strong, especially our army's mobility cannot reach any army in the world. Our flying bear army basically has one man, three cavalry or even four cavalry, and even the Brutal Bear Army has one man, two cavalry or even three cavalry. We will eliminate the enemy in the movement, and we will mobilize the enemy, let them run continuously and eliminate them in one fell swoop. Of course, since we are asking everyone to study together, of course everyone must express their opinions to see if there is a better way to eliminate Yuan Shu and Sun Ce's two-way army."

Ling Cao was thinking about how to eliminate the enemy with the least casualties while returning from the spine. He also knew that the strength of our army was its fast speed and strong combat power, but his subordinates were indeed too few. He could only rely on the 120,000 troops of Yuan Shu and the soldiers of Feixiong Army. The navy could not play much role. He had to solve Yuan Shu or Sun Ce's enemy troops one way first, otherwise the second route of combat would be very unfavorable to our army. "General Wen Yuan, can our army eliminate Sun Ce's 20,000 naval troops first, and then deal with Ji Ling's 100,000 troops, so that our army would not need to divide troops to fight."

After hearing this, Zhang Liao shook his head and said, "This possibility is too small. Sun Ce is a hero of a generation. He has very good abilities and is also good at leading troops to fight. He has many talented people and strangers, especially Zhou Yu, who are the strongest among the people. They will definitely not let our army's conspiracy be presented, and they should be prepared for two-sided combat."

Xu Sheng was also thinking and discussing this issue with his generals, but there was no good way to solve the current dilemma. "General Wen Yuan, it seems that our army has only one place with a more geographical and geographic landscape that is more likely to ambush, but our army has too few troops to eat Ji Ling's 100,000 troops at a time. It is unlikely that Ji Ling would repeat the same trick after being ambushed once. Besides, Yuan Shu's vanguard also has 10,000 troops. Once our army ambushed his vanguard army, it will be difficult for the central army to ambush. After all, Ji Ling has led troops to fight for many years, and is not a fool who knows nothing."

Seeing Zhang Liao's confident look, Ling Cao immediately asked, "General Wenyuan, if you have any good ideas, just tell me, we will all listen to you."

Zhang Liao smiled and said, "I just want to eat up 10,000 Yuan Shu's vanguard army first, and then clean up Ji Ling's central army."

Lu Kang asked in confusion: "General Wen Yuan, even if he eats Yuan Shu's 10,000 vanguards, Ji Ling's central army still has 90,000 people. How can he deal with this? How can Sun Ce's 20,000 naval troops resist?"

After hearing this, Ling Cao immediately said, "Old Master Lu, don't worry about Sun Ce's 20,000 soldiers. Our naval soldiers are 5,000, which is enough to deal with Sun Ce's 20,000 soldiers."

Zhang Liao smiled at Lu Kang and then said, "As for Ji Ling's 90,000 troops, our army will attack Hefei, use its speed to mobilize Ji Ling's army and let him return to Hefei. Our army may gradually eliminate it in the movement. Our army can eat it bit by bit and finally give a fatal blow."

Lu Kang looked at Zhang Liao and said suspiciously: "Wen Yuan, can this really destroy Yuan Shu's army? And Sun Ce's 20,000 army is not easy to deal with. The combat ability of his soldiers is said to be stronger than that of Yuan Shu's soldiers."

Xu Sheng smiled and said, "Premier Lu, in terms of the combat capabilities of soldiers, who dares to say that our army is the first? Even the combat capabilities of individual soldiers are the strongest. There is no need to worry about this."

After thinking about it, Lu Kang looked at the generals under Zhang Liao. They were all full of fighting spirit. They couldn't say anything. They just asked casually: "How many soldiers are Wenyuan going to leave behind to guard the city?"

Zhang Liao was helpless and looked at Mr. Lu Kang, then said, "Old man, I can only leave a thousand soldiers in Wancheng for you to defend the city. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, there will be nearly eight soldiers who will carry the prisoners back to Wancheng from the back of Liangshan. The maximum number of soldiers left behind in Wancheng is 1,800, and I will take all the rest of the troops away."

Lu Kang knew that this was the largest number of soldiers Zhang Liao could have left. After all, Zhang Liao had only a small amount of troops. He had to use 13,000 troops to fight against Yuan Shu's 100,000 troops. The 5,000 navy also had to deal with Sun Ce's 20,000 troops, and the Ruxuwu Wharf also had to garrison. Now Zhang Liao was really stretched. "Okay, please come to Wenyuan for everything. I will actively cooperate with your generals to defend Wancheng. You don't have to worry about this."

Ling Cao, Xu Sheng and the generals said in unison: "Please give orders to the general!"

Zhang Liao straightened his body and said very seriously: "Ling Cao obeys the order, you immediately set off at the Ruxuwu Wharf, and immediately lead 4,000 naval troops to welcome Sun Ce's army, leaving behind a thousand naval soldiers to guard the Ruxuwu Wharf. You must leave Sun Ce's 20,000 troops, and then you will lead the navy to attack Niuzhu and Qua. Our army does not seek to occupy Niuzhu and Qua. The purpose is to destroy Sun Ce's warships, docks, and military facilities in Niuzhu and Qua. At the same time, you must pay close attention to the situation in the Jiangxia area. If the Liu Biao navy from Jingzhou attacks, you will also fight me hard and exert the majesty of our army."

Ling Cao immediately stepped out of the line and replied loudly: "God of General!"

Zhang Liao said loudly again: "Xu Sheng obeys the order, you will follow the general and lead 10,000 Flying Bear Army and 3,000 soldiers of the Rising Bear Army to fight Yuan Shu's 100,000 troops. You will immediately send multiple scouts to conduct strict reconnaissance on the enemy situation in the square and circle, kill all the enemy's detectives, and let the scouts report once in the second half of the hour. No mistakes can be made, and the enemy cannot understand the situation of our army."

Xu Sheng stepped out and replied loudly: "God of the general!"

Zhang Liao smiled at Mr. Lu and then said, "Old man, you have to worry more about the affairs of Anhui City. Pay attention to the enemy lurking in the city to carry out destruction, and do necessary mobilization for the people. If the situation is urgent, please organize the people to participate in defending the city."

Lu Kang replied: "God of the General's Order, please rest assured."

Zhang Liao immediately stood up and led the army to head towards Ruxuwu Wharf overnight. At dawn, he arrived at Ruxuwu Wharf. Zhang Liao asked the soldiers to take a short rest. Two hours later, they set out again. They were going to ambush the wild hillside 200 kilometers away, and digging various mechanism traps, preparing to eat 10,000 troops of Zhang Xun, the vanguard of Ji Ling's army.

After Zhang Liao and Xu Sheng led their army to the wild hillside, they immediately went to inspect the terrain and landforms. This is the only place to attack Wancheng from Shouchun. Although the mountain is not very large, the road is not very spacious. Even when the horses are driving, it is enough for ten horses to walk side by side. There are dense forests on both sides, so it is impossible for the army to walk. After reaching the top of the mountain, there is a large piece of flat land, which is very cheap for cavalry to fight.
